No. 19 - Song - Nancy and Chorus
| Nancy: | Oh, I'm a little maid Who's not at all afraid Of what my friends may think or say; Though sober-minded folk Can never see a joke, I come across a lot each day. I'm always more than half Inclined to have a laugh, Whatever the result may be. If other people stare, Well, really I don't care, For ev'rything amuses me. Ah! I laugh at them; Ah! you know, Many people have agreed Life is very dull indeed, But it does amuse me so! |
| Chorus: | Ah! she laughs at them; Ah! you know, Many people have agreed Life is very dull indeed, But it does amuse her so! |
| Nancy: | At balls I often find Some gentleman inclined To sit out dances, one or two; A good excuse he's got, "The room is rather hot!" I know what's coming next, don't you? Conservatory cool he chooses as a rule, "There's such a draught upon the stairs!" I know the place he means, With palms and folding screens, And comfortable easy chairs. Ah! I laugh at him; Ah! you know, If his conduct clearly shows That he's going to propose, Well, it does amuse me so! |
| Chorus: | Ah! she laughs at him; Ah! you know, If his conduct clearly shows That he's going to propose, Well, it does amuse her so! |
